Surely you were a kid then Dave!
Lets see, 1972 by this time I'd been married, had a daughter, a trip to Viet Nam, divorced and was sophomore in college and married to my bride of 51 years that December. Oh the good old days.Surely you were a kid then Dave!
Funny how it seems like yesterday.....Lets see, 1972 by this time I'd been married, had a daughter, a trip to Viet Nam, divorced and was sophomore in college and married to my bride of 51 years that December. Oh the good old days.
The hammer was used to drive the 3 adjustable screws into the bench top so the front rest would not move. A practice today that is highly fround on.I've heard that name before but can't remeber where, he was big in the bench rest world right ? Also question, any idea what the little hammer was for ?
These two sort of go together. From back in my DC-6B days. Hauling cargo non- schedule out of Ypsilanti , Mi.

Are you going to send that through check?Used CAD/CAM design and engineering programs for years. I’m currently doing plans for my new cabin on the board with arms. Still better than a T-square.
Those were accurate enough to build the SR71 and B52!
I get it! I've been in graphics nearly 50 years, once the computer applications appeared all the old ways as well as those who were stuck in them disappeared. The thing that is unfortunate, is that at a time when quality should be at its highest, it's in a malaise.I wish I still had my table and drafting machine. I'm old enough to remember when the drafting room was littered with those. Once the PC based drafting programs hit the market, those things disappeared fast along with anyone who refused to learn CAD.
Things have come a long way.
